And now, for the Part I finale.


Alice barely kept herself in mid-air. The pressure was immense, and unlike anything she experienced. She expected the same kind of power from the rest of her allies, all of whom struggled to regain stability. Some of them already started plunging to the ground. The Halifax Bomber, which was incredibly distant from the battle as instructed, was lucky enough to avoid getting caught up in the fight.

It was the first time the Psionic girl experienced an enemy of this magnitude. Not even those large Neuroi ships, she fought alongside the 501st compared to this kind of power. She could already tell that the dark woman who entered the zone with her mutant creatures and hooded disciples was at a far different level.

Worse yet, this was the enemy who she was guided to confront, according to Tipler.

So, this is the threat that Princess Fine warned. The reason behind Alice and Tipler's support in the war effort.

Minna thought as she found herself face-first on a nearby island. She struggled to get a view of the new hostiles as their presence crushed her to the ground.

"Lieutenant, report!" Ishida called to Maxine in the Black Iris bridge.

"Massive gravity anomaly detected! We're receiving intense pressure along the upper hull! Our Gravity Drives can barely maintain our altitude!"

"This damn pressure," Mio cursed on top of the deck. All of her weapons that kept in mid-air were forced onto the hull of the ship and while the military officer kept a knee up. "I can barely stand with this kind of power!"

"Getting an analysis," Maxine held onto the console as she viewed the screens coming from the ship's computer. "General, it's the same kind of the singularity from the previous incident!"

"What?" the General raised an eyebrow. "Can you confirm this?"

"Kurohana match the fluctuation patterns match to exactly those from the one in our world. That singularity is a tunnel through time and space."

The General clicked as he barely kept hold. It was never anything they experienced before, and nothing they were trained to handle.

What the hell is this? Kyoko struggled with the controls on the Titania. This is way different from that last battle. Is it happening again?

This power is so overwhelming, Izetta was handling the danger better than most, but she was also struggling. She expected them to be a mighty opponent that was of another caliber, but this was too much for her to stand.

Alice-san…

Yoshika held far better than the rest of her comrades, even when hold Lynette's hand to keep her from falling. She noticed Gertrude faring as good as she was and projecting a shield catch Erica. Yoshika focused more on the Psionic girl as the dangerous woman approached her friend.

Even then, Alice still tried to stand firm.

"Ah, it looks like we have already found you."

"Found me?" Alice twitched an eyelid.

"Do not play with us," the woman smirked. "We could already tell you possess the same powers that we do."

Alice managed to remain stable as the force started to recede.

"Though I apologize for the horrible reunion," the Vilag woman spoke. "I wished we could meet under better circumstances, but at least, this saves us the trouble of searching all over this planet for you."

"Searching for me?" Alice put up a straight face. "I was actually waiting for you to show up."

"That's enough of the bravado," the woman hovered closer. "However, your presence just made things a lot more convenient, and your presence far more welcoming."

"Welcoming?" Alice glared. "What are you talking about!?"

"We've been looking so long, nearly 12 years, to be precise. We failed our search in several different dimensions and parallel universes, all to be in vain. It's only recently that we were able to track you down."

"12 years?" Perrine exclaimed as she found herself blown away.

"Parallel universes?" Major Sakamoto did not know the term, but she had an idea. "Is this referring to what Kyoko mentioned?"

"Why are you searching for me!?" Alice rebuked. "I thought you were trying to invade this planet!?"

"Invade?" the leader woman gave a concerned look on her face. "And who told you that would be seen as invaders?"

"Tipler did. The Murlock from your time. He said that you were invading this world and entrusted to stop you from doing that!"

"I believe you're mistaken," the woman nodded in understanding the situation. "Our mission was never to invade other worlds. In actuality, our orders were to never interfere with the inhabitants as best we can."

"What?"

"But first, allow me to introduce myself," "My name is Zurich, an Instructor from the Educational Division.

"Aren't you supposed to be the Vilag?"

"Vilag…" Zurich pondered on the word. "It's been a while since I've heard that name."

"Well, that's what Tipler called you. He said that you are people who use crazy Psionic powers like I did and are trying to do something bad. Never thought you'd look like this."

"I noticed how much you've diverged from the regular curriculum," Zurich sighed at Alice glare. "How about, as a start, I explain why I was sent here rather than the Executioners."

"Executioners?" Lynette shook at the word, overhearing the conversation.

"If they were sent here, you would have been dead a long time ago. However, I insisted that I would go ahead, hoping to convince you instead."

"And why is that?" Alice smirked.

"Because I was supposed to be your teacher from our world."

"Your teacher?" Even though Zurich already explained her role as an Instructor, that caught Minna off guard.

"We will explain everything to you in the long run. However, that is only if you cooperate with us."

"State your demands," Commander Wilcke flew in between the two Psionic users. After Zurich lowered the pressure in the area, the Witch Commander regained her strength and listened in on the conversation. Alice may not be a soldier, but she was still under her care like Izetta.

"And who would you be?" the Witch caught the older Psionic woman's attention.

"I am Commander Wilcke of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing and Alice's superior officer. If you wish for us to cooperate, we must hear your demands first."

"I see, then allow me to be brief," the woman agreed. "We have only two demands here. The first is allowing us to return home with the Psionic girl before you."

"And the other?"

"The retrieval of that Murlock she mentioned," Zurich faced Alice again. "Our laws strictly enforce that no entities from our world should ever interfere with other universes, especially those within the past. Therefore, the Council demands that both must be retrieved before any further damage ensues."

"Then how about this," Alice stepped in, "What will you do after I decide to come to your world?"

"Unfortunately, that's for the Council to decide. Chances are we will have you sent the schools anyway, but not after a long period of re-education in our facilities."

"Re-education," Minna did not like the source of that word.

"And Tipler?" Alice demanded.

"He will face a trial for the crime of tampering with parallel universes and their timelines. If he still refuses to bow before us, he will suffer torture he can't possibly imagine. On the bright side, the consequences are a lot less severe than that."

"As if I'm ever doing to do that," Alice retaliated by taking her powers to the max, attempting to release incredible forces like Zurich did a while ago. The Instructor was less than impressed but nonetheless intrigued.

"I see your powers grew considerably despite a lack of proper training," Zurich stated kindly. "This may be problematic upon your return."

"And what wrong with training at my own pace!?" Alice exclaimed.

"The Council has strict laws regarding how much power one of us can wield. If your powers grow too much, we may have to eliminate you before something devastating happens."

"Too much?" Alice nearly chuckled. If she really had more power, should that be a good thing for her?

"I'm sorry, but we cannot comply with your demands," Minna addressed firmly in front of the Psionic girl.

"Excuse me?"

"Basically, you're suggesting that Alice's fate is either brainwashing or execution, and you have something worse prepared for her friend," Minna pointed out. She could feel her body shaking over such incredible power the Vilag girl reserved, but that didn't stop her from stating facts. "As the military commander put in charge of her protection, I can allow her to suffer such a fate."

"As I suspected," the Psionic woman started releasing more power. "With how much time it took for us to find this woman, it would only be natural for her to be accustomed to this world's customs. Therefore, a confrontation was sure to come."

"If you knew that already, then why not finish us already?"

"We have our reasons. And it's our custom not to kill. Even your affiliates here won't suffer death under my authority. At least, by my hands."

"No," Alice powered up to face her assailant while also looking at the mutant monsters Tipler dubbed "Hawkwasps." "But your little pets might, and you sure will give them a world of pain."

"It's inevitable," Zurich unleashed a shockwave around her. "Hawkwasps and Hunterbeasts were made to kill those who did not meet the Council's standards at a young age. Even humans from a parallel world are nothing but food to them."

By the time Zurich finished her statement, one of the mutant creatures already engaged in battle with Sakamoto. With incredible strength, it shattered her blade with its stinger and stabbed her arm. The older Witch found herself paralyzed throughout her body as she slowly descended.

"I've had enough of this," Alice snapped as fire erupted from her hands. "I care what you have in store for Tipler and me! You're going down!"

As the Psionic girl declared, she rocketed towards the Instructors, her gauntlets already blazing with incredible heat. Zurich raised her palm and projected increasing forces at the adept girl. Both Alice and Minna were blown away before Alice found herself paralyzed. The incredible energy froze her in place as the Zurich retrained her movements.

A flash behind Alice prompted the Instructor to let go, barely dodging the shot as it nearly homed in on her. The attack came from Lynette, who regained her balance and stood by Yoshika.

"Alice-san!" Yoshika called out as she fired a burst of ammunition at the Vilag woman. Zurich retaliated with a pressure field that slowed the bullet's movements to a standstill. However, Izetta flew

"Everyone now!" Izetta called several more explosive lances. Likewise, Zurich forced the lances to halt, but she did not expect them to explode in mid-air and spread smoke. Before she could use her power to blow clear the skies, Izetta fired a round from her cannon, grazing her by the hip.

Zurich ignored the pain by projecting another field towards Izetta. However, Yoshika stepped in with her Shield, mitigating most of the force before it collapsed. The Instructor then released another invisible blast to blow everyone in the vicinity. Although her opponents were knocked back, the attack took a toll on her as she groaned from the wound on her hip.

"Instructor," one of her disciples flew over to check on her condition.

"Leave me be," she ordered her student. "You and the others maintain the singularity and keep it open until I return with the girl and the Murlock."

"But, Instructor, you're bleeding!"

"That is an order," Zurich stood firm again. "Besides, it's my responsibility to bring them back alive. This issue concerns me alone."

"I-I understand, Instructor," her disciple then flew off with the others. They together used their powers to maintain the singularity while the Hawkwasps and other girls did battle elsewhere.

Eila fired upon one of the Hawkwasps that pursue her and Sanya. The bullets deflected from the creature's hides to her shock as it retaliated with its sharp feathers at her. Unlike the AMF weapons that disrupted her clairvoyance, she could predict these shots, but she projects a shield due to a large number of flechettes thrown at her. As Eila's barrier shattered, Sanya fired her rocket launcher, but the Hawkwasp easily evaded her shots. Eila fired another volley at the creature, all bouncing off its hides as it swooped in for another attack.

However, it was cut down by the Titania's sword before it could get another volley off. After regaining stability, he went after the nearest Hawkwasp he could.

I don't know what this whole business is about these Vilag and such. Kyoko overheard the entire conversation like the rest of the unit, and even he could not understand what was going on. He expected those on the Black Iris to be the same. But at least I know how we got dragged into this situation.

As on cue, there was already a discussion aboard the Black Iris as its Bullet Globes retaliated against the mutant creatures.

"Parallel universes," Maxine lamented. "So we've been all thrown into an alternate universe thanks to the singularity and these Vilag beings."

"The question is," the General remained calm on his seat. "Why would these beings come to our world before arriving at this one?"

"I cannot explain it myself," Maxine shook her head. "What do you think, Commander Mio?"

"The hell I know!" the military girl retaliated from the deck. "All I know is that they just sent these bird bugs to kill us, and they sure aren't going to leave behind any survivors!"

"We are aware of that," the General confirmed. "Proceed with defensive operations and keep them from destroying the ship or killing any of the locals in the area."

"Roger on that one," the commander complied as she spotted someone descending onto the deck.

Major Sakamoto made a crash landing on the black vessel. Even when using her broken katana as leverage, she could find strength weakening due to the creature's venom. The pursuing Hawkwasp landed by her location, getting a clear view of its prey before advancing. To the Major's surprise, she was saved by a stream of bullets impacting the creature's hides. The Hawkwasp shook its head as Mio with a machinegun. She then fired four MANPADS levitating in mid-air. The beast tried to fly off, throwing several of its feathers to destroy some of the missiles, but two made it threw and blasted it into pieces.

Major Sakamoto turned to her savior, who was none other than Commander Mio, who gave a smirk before returning to the fight.

Likewise, the Ustez twins had their own share of trouble but held out better. Lia used her arm blades to block the Hawkwasp's stinger before cutting off its legs and wings. She finished it by impaling the torso before tossing the dying creature into the sea. Ria blocked the stingers with her claws and then split two clones from her body. As both copies got impaled by the stingers, they fired concentrated blasts onto their heads before being reduced to black sludge and then to nothingness. The original Ria finished the job by cutting their heads off.

The black-haired twin focused on her sister, who locked her blades with another Hawkwasp's stinger. After Lia knocked it back with her energy blast, Ria came in pierced its hides with her claws and shredded its upper body apart.

Besides them, Gertrude engaged another Hawkwasp, deflecting the feathers and charging headfirst as usual. She used her heavy weapons to block the stinger as they engage in close combat. The two were equal in strength thanks to Gertrud's magic, but the Hawkwasp started getting the upper hand over her. Right after the monsters knocked her back with enough force, the Witch fired her cannon. Although the shot obliterating its stinger, the dying Hawkwasp still went after her with ear-splitting screeches. It tackled her with its insect mouth trying to eat her only to be blasted in the head by Ria.

Erica and Perrine were also locked in battle against another Hawkwasp, using their wind and electric powers respectively to attack the creature. Not much progress was made for either of them. It reacted with feathers against Erica when she barrel-rolled around the winged beast with her wind magic. Perrine's Tonnerre didn't do much either, the hides seemingly insulating the creature from electric attacks. They were saved by Gertrude and Ria, who both had the idea of saving the two as they fired their cannons and energy shots.

"Trude!" Erica called to her idol as they flew together.

"Nice one, Twinsis!" Lia also complemented her uninterested sister.

"Save the compliments for later," Ria turned her attention to the other battles going on. "I have no idea what the whole story is, but I definitely want answers here."

"You're members of the Black Iris?" Gertrude responded. "Friends of Kyoko Liu?"

"We're not friends with him," Ria responded. "But he's helped us. Can't say he's our enemy."

A flash from the ongoing battles elsewhere got their attention, especially the continuing conflict between Zurich and several of their friends.

"Either way, we should take these things down before we get into a discussion."

Gertrude nodded as she ordered.

"Hartmann, Clostermann, on my lead!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

As Gertrude's squadron took flight, Shirley and Francesca engaged two Hawkwasps elsewhere. Shirley attempted to use her speed to outrun the monsters. But as she turned to fire her weapon, she found the insect-avid hybrid closing in.

So these things aren't just tough, they're fast, too, Shirley smirked as she caught the sight of her partner.

"Shirley, I need a little help here!" Lucchini had more trouble with her enemy. She already used her unique power of discharging a shot of intense heat on the creature. After it resisted the attack, it swopped in and nearly struck her with its talon-like legs.

"Lucchini, get ready!" Shirley said she snagged the surprised Witch by the arm. After first, it was painful due to the burn and stretched muscles, but she calmed down a moment as she focused on their enemy. Knowing this move, the Flying Officer concentrated her energy more.

"HYYYAAAHHH!" As Shirley tossed her at one of the creatures, Francesca tore through its flesh with her power. Her eyes were closed as blood splattered all over her body, and the remains fell around her.

The other Hawkwasp targeted the idol Shirley, but a flash of white light came in and cut it into many pieces. Lia turned around to greet the Liberion Witch.

"Lia Ustez, here to the rescue!" she greeted. "Just dropping by."

"Pretty good right here," Shirley replied.

"Thank you very much, onee-sama!"

"Onee-sama, eh?" Shirley raised an eyebrow over the honorific. Did this girl, Lia, if she remembered, have a non-Japanese name? Then again, there's the story about the Arahi having a mixture of different nationalities. But there was also the issue of her getting distracted by Shirley's baggage, which prompted her to smirk and glare.

During the pause, Ria's team joined the fight against the Vilag commander. Alice had recently thrown several sparks of flame, all of which got deflected. Zurich then knocked back several swords Izetta threw before avoiding a stream of bullets from Yoshika. Ria then clashed the Psionic woman, who responded with her gravity-like attack and fired another burst of force that punched her towards the sea. Gertrude, Erica, and Perrine followed suit with several rounds aimed toward her. The Instructor deflected their shots with her powers, prompting them to use shields against hers.

Kyoko burst below her used the Titania's sword against her. Just when he thought he had her, Zurich clasped the sword with her bare hands.

"What!?" the boy exclaimed as she sent the Titania flying. While he struggled to regain control, he fired his cannon, which engulfed the Instructor. Even then, it only grazed her clothing.

As the battle continued, the chaos on the Halifax bomber continued as they got shots with their cameras. Fine remained silent on the entire fight, even though she should be alarmed about this new opponent, especially after everything she learned. Visitors from another world, who wanted Alice and her Murlock captured and brought for execution. Even she could feel the weight of the battle, which was more of the reason why she remained silent.

Furthermore, there was the issue of Tipler being aware of the Vilag's objective. The Vilag's statements contradicted what the Murlock told her, but he didn't sound like he was lying. Perhaps he was also kept in the dark about the meaning behind Alice's existence in this world.

However, the Murlock started shaking once more.

"What is it, Tipler? More Vilag?"

Tipler shook his head.

"No, something else is coming!"

During that point, Alice continued her fistfight with Zurich, who countered quickly. Even when Lia charged in, Zurich let her pass and kicked her from behind, sending straight into Shirley. She did the same Francisca by knocking her back along with them. She then grabbed Alice after she took advantage of the distraction, twisted her arm, and pushed her back with her force powers.

"Enough!" Zurich shouted in a threatening tone. She released an explosive shockwave that sent everyone in the vicinity flying. Yoshika collided with Lynette, and Minna was the only one who kept her balance. Zurich then restrained Alice once again.

"As a teacher, it is my responsibility to not endanger my students, but only if you cut this misbehavior."

"Since when was I your student!" Alice retaliated.

"That's right," Yoshika regained her balance. "We won't let you take away Alice-san. She is our friend!"

"She won't join you just because you tell her to," Lynette joined her friend.

"You're no position to speak," Zurich forced both Witches to the ground before increasing the force on Alice's throat, barely leaving enough room for her to breathe. "You have not only caused trouble for the Council and me, but you also caused much for your sister."

Sister? Alice thought as she couldn't speak the word.

"It's time we get going. It's a shame you had to leave your past behind. Believe me, I never wanted this either."

"Alice, no!" Izetta struggled to move but found the force too strong.

"Now, all that's left is to find the Murlock, then our mission will be-"

"501st Joint Fighter Wing, do you read?" Maxine's voice cracked in the intercom, causing Zurich to stop. "Officer Liu, Ria, Lia, you need to hear this, too."

"What is it?" Minna was the first and only person able to respond.

"Another enemy signature has appeared," Max reported from the ship. "Sensors depict it as an AMF vehicle!"

"What type is it?" Commander Mio entered the intercom.

Maxine was reluctant to answer, but she responded anyway.

"We believe it's the same Special Weapon that attacked us earlier, and it has arrived in this parallel universe."

The confused natives of this alternate world heard a click from Mio. Kyoko and the twins were hesitant to respond but knew precisely the danger that approached them.

"That thing doesn't know when to give up!" Lia exclaimed.

"Don't be surprised," Ria responded. "If the AMF were here, we should have expected it to show up at some point.

"Why now of all times?" Kyoko said to himself as his Titania recovered.

It wasn't long before everyone got a visual of the enemy weapon. It was a humanoid machine just like the Titania, but it has the same metallic gray colors as any AMF weapon. This one looked more feminine in appearance and had no insect-like features. Instead, there were two sets of lower wings and what looked like two pairs of extra limbs on its back, each with a thruster and storage for swords and other long weapons. On the thighs and arms were multiple handheld weapons, all holstered onto beartrap-like mechanisms. Finally, the shoulders and both sets of lower wings had circular covers; Minna could even sense strong anti-magic forces emitted within them.

Worse yet, not only was it heading straight for the Black Iris, but everyone else was in its path, including the Halifax.

"What is that?" Fine asked as she observed the machine as it stopped.

Tipler didn't know what it was either, just that was a dangerous machine with abnormal capabilities. His fears were right as the machine's extra limbs to the front, and the covers opened up to reveal six anti-magic-emitting charged up.

"High energy response detected," Maxine reported. "It's going to fire its special weapon towards our position!"

"But everyone's in the way," Kyoko exclaimed. "That thing's going to kill the other girls and everyone on that plane!"

"Can we evade?" Ishida asked his Lieutenant.

"Our engines are still in poor condition. The singularity and those Vilag are not helping things either."

"Princess!" Izetta shouted as she moved forward.

"Groman, evade that cannon!" Fine called out through the crowd, prompting the pilot to turn away.

However, the Black Iris was still in the way.

"Twinsis, let's do that!"

Of all people, Lia acted as if she knew what she did.

"Are you crazy!" Ria retorted. "Just because it happened before doesn't mean we can do it again!"

"Do you really want everyone to die!? Let's do it together!"

"Wait, Lia!" Maxine called out through the intercom but was left with no response.

"Agghh, damn it all!" Ria cursed as she followed.

"Lia, Ria, what are you-"

Before Kyoko finished, the AMF weapon fired special weapon, a cannon with the emitters, lower wings, and extra limbs converged onto its chest. As the twins came together, space twisted in the weapon's line of fire, and the area became distorted once again.


Further down south was another unusual aircraft. It had the form of a flying wing, moved as fast as a fighter jet, and had long fins resembling legs near the engines. The machine had two Vulcan guns below the nose and two separate compartments for secondary weapons on the underbelly. The cockpit was also bulkier than usual, which meant more drag than the conventional fighter plane.

Inside the seat was a bearded man in his late thirties. Although his uniform was right for a pilot, the colors marked him as a special forces officer. His suit designated him as a member of the International Peacekeeping Forces, but his decorations still showed his devotion to his original country, namely the stitched ribbon from the Mista'avrim and Isreali Air Force.

For the past couple of days, Squadron Leader Davi Masada found himself in the middle of the North Sea. He participated in the previous engagement against the Black Iris, the flagship of the remaining Arahi forces that was labeled a terrorist faction in his world, so he was thrown into the same situation as everyone else from that battle. However, only he appeared to have the brains in getting a hold of a situation.

What the hell are those men from the AMF thinking? The Squadron Leader thought to himself. He was well aware of the AMF's existence ever since the girl Aya Masayoshi went public about the magical girls and their war against the secret organization. Despite being on the wrong side, he empathized with her cause, even slightly more than the IPF or his home country. The current situation with the girls being marked as enemies of the world and taking away their claimed home of Arahi was nothing more than a sham. It was all a smear campaign for making a scapegoat so that the powers-that-be could keep the "peace" in their world, whether it be the dominant power blocs or the AMF forces that ruled behind them. He only feared the consequences that the alternative might bring, especially what he feared would happen in his country, which is why he ended up in this mess.

He could tell that the world he was in did not belong to his time. Fair enough, he spent most of the two days setting up camp on an island since he prioritized survival. His radio eventually received transmissions from AMF ships, but his transmitter was broken, prompting him to fix it. The last thing he heard was them talking about the Black Iris vessel being spotted and prioritizing its destruction over figuring out their position.

We've been stuck in this place for more than two days, the man cursed. Now is not the time to continue fighting like this.

If he was their commander, calling for a ceasefire and making use of their resources to figure what world or timeline would have been his first order. But he was a Squadron Leader, and the AMF apparently followed a different chain-of-command and doctrine. All he could do was figure out the situation himself and get help.

Hope started to come when he spotted a large squadron of military force in the distance. He could not identify the make of the machines, but they were definitely a combined force of air and naval units, both lead by a large bomber and aircraft carrier. With no time to waste, he reached for his radio.

Unknown to him was the sizeable Germanian force dispatched to the North Sea by the suggestion of Major Berkman and the Kaiser himself. The Major and his companion took off in the Amerika bomber while Bassler continued to serve as an escort launched from the Drachenfels.

Within the giant aircraft, one of the officers reported the leading officer.

"Major, we're receiving a transmission from an unknown source."

"Can you identify the party?"

"No, Major. But appears to be an emergency distress call."

"Well then, allow us to have a listen."

As ordered, the officer put the transmission on the speaker.

"This is Squadron Leader Davi Masada of the International Peacekeeping Forces to any military units in the area. I have lost contact with my unit and am currently stranded in an unknown area. I repeat, I am stranded and have no means to contact my unit. If anyone can reach me, please respond!"

The transmission startled even the Major, though they at least identified one of the unknown groups in the area.

"Major, what do you think we should do?"

Rickert wasn't sure what to make of the transmission for he had never heard of an International Peacekeeping Force. It could be a trick, but the voice sounded too desperate for that, and they faced an unknown entity overall. Unless the unknown force was working together as a cohesive force, which was reported as two factions fighting each other, there was no reason for them to believe that this was a setup.

"Respond to the distress signal," the Major responded. "Once he lands, we shall interrogate him for further information."

"Interrogation?"

"We need every bit of detail we can get about this unknown entity," Berkman stepped on another cigarette. "If we want to get a grip on the situation, we should squeeze out whatever information we can get from the man."

"I know, Major, but isn't that-"

Rickert was interrupted as he and the Major were sent flying into the ceiling of the craft. It took more than ten seconds for the Special Unit officers to stand up as the aircraft shook violently.

"W-What is that!?"

Rickert stared through the window in what looked like a massive tunnel of light. It appeared right near Masada's aircraft, which was the first to get pulled in.

"It's happening again!? DAAGGGHHH-" Masada's voice was cut as the singularity sucked him into the temporal wormhole

Bassler had similar problems with his aircraft. Like the Amerika bomber before him, he lost control of his plane. Since his aircraft was smaller and lighter, strong forces like this one toss him around like a ragdoll.

"Come on, move! Move dammit!" Bassler tugged on the control stick to no avail. He could only curse as his squadron and the rest of the Germanian force got pulled in with him.

"Major, do you know what's going on?" Rickert noticed the dissonant smile from his superior officer.

"I believe we're starting to discover the truth, that's all."

The Major remained smiling as the Amerika flew into the tunnel of light. It wasn't long before the Drachenfels, and the remaining Germanian vessels and aircraft were pulled into the singularity.


Things were not better by the Black Iris. On the one hand, the erupting singularity broke Alice free from the Instructor's grasp. On the other hand, it started pulling everyone else in the area.

"Massive singularity detected!" Maxine reported. "It's dragging us all in!"

"Can we escape its pull?"

"Our engines are too damaged to reach escape velocity. We're being pulled in!"

On the deck of the ship, Commander Mio used her knife to hold onto the vessel with the Major Mio in tow. Even though she was a stranger, she wasn't going to let the Witch fall to her death.

"The Black Iris!" Unlike the other girls, Kyoko flew straight towards the singularity as it pulled the flagship. No matter what era he was in, the flagship was his only way of getting home along with the girls.

"Kyoko-san!" Yoshika called out just before she felt strong forces tugging her. She, too, was pulled into the temporal entity.

"Yoshika-chan!" Lynette ended up following her friend, being dragged along with her.

"Trude!" Erica did the same with what happened with Lieutenant Barkhorn despite her strength.

"Shirley!" Francesca ended up calling her name as she lost control and joined the others.

Along with the Ustez twins who protected them, the Halifax bomber spun out of control, moving towards the singularity like everyone else. The Archduchess held on to her seat like most of the other guests. Tipler hid under her legs for stability. Fine could see her friend calling to her as they flew towards the Black Iris. Perhaps this was cruel fate that awaited them.

Right when the Black Iris contacted the singularity, the bright flash of light blinded the remaining Witches. Minna was one of the few who escaped the pull along with several others. But there was nothing they could do without getting caught in the distortion. She remained firm until the light faded, and the distortion was over.

Zurich already disappeared from the area along with her Vilag followers, escaping right before the AMF machine fired its weapon. It was safe to say that she did not leave with Alice nor Tipler and only escaped out of desperation.

The strange machine responsible also vanished from the area. With the incredible power it wielded, it could have finished the remaining Witches off. But since it was nowhere to be seen, it either fled from the battlefield or went elsewhere.

However, the girls could barely bear what just happened. Shirley remained quiet just like the Commander, except she additionally gripped her gun. Eila and Sanya were the same as if they saw friends disappear right before them.

Perrine was left stuttering, unable to contain the shock of what happened. Just by getting a glimpse of her idol vanishing before her, she quickly broke down.

"SAKAMOTO-SAN!"


"So, the task force sent to investigate the unknown entity has disappeared."

Kaiser Otto received the news the day later once news of the incident reached Neue Berlin. He relied on the Special Unit to investigate the strange activity within the North Sea. The fact that the entire Germanian unit disappeared along with the unknown force amused him.

"The Allied forces appear to have suffered heavy losses as well," Elliot reported by his side. "Over half of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing defending the Britannian Isles has vanished. We believe the Archduchess of Eylstadt is missing as well."

"Along with the White Witch," the Kaiser added before engaging in laughter. "This has become quite an unusual turn of events. It's almost spectacular, in my opinion."

"Your Excellency, if I may suggest, we shall make use of the time to postpone our campaign against the Britannian Isles due to the lack of military strength. And with the White Witch apparently missing in action, it marks the opportunity to resume operations against Eylstadt."

"You're right," the Kaiser agreed, but on one condition. "We shall hold off on the invasion for now. However, we shall not re-invade Eylstadt just yet. Not until we've confirmed what Major Berkman stated earlier, about the secret of the White Witch."

"Our spies are still continuing to investigate. However, the real concern is the importance of the White Witch among the clans and their opinion towards the White Witch."

"That shall not be of grave concern," the Kaiser said, assured of his Empire stance. "Not when the power of the legend is already in our hands."

For the rarest of moments, the Kaiser stood from his seat. His advisor followed by his side as they walked down the steps and toward a coffin, much like the one that they used to capture Izetta weeks ago.

"She will return, I'm sure of it," the Kaiser tubbed the fog on the coffin, revealing a sleeping woman with silver hair. "And when she does, it'll be time to begin our new plan. One that will change the course of the war, and human history, forever."

"As you say, Your Excellency."

The advisor bowed as the Kaiser laughed throughout the throne room once again.


And that concludes the first part.

Before finishing up, here's another bio for the ULJA cast.


Davi Masada

Birthday: December 11, 2019
Age: 36
Blood Type: O
Nationality: Israel
Rank: Rav Seren/Rosh Tayeset (Major/Squadron Leader)

Masada's family and its relationship with his country have been strong since its founding, starting with his great grandfather, who was a young survivor of the Holocaust during World War II. He stayed in the military after his mandatory conscription and participated in many missions: several internationally, at least two engagements with hostile air forces, and one in the Gaza Strip.

Masada does not believe in the propaganda the AMF brings and understands well what magical girls desire, a small nation to call home yet possessing enough military influence to protect communities worldwide. His only reason for fighting them is the threat they bring to the balance of power that could spell total calamity without proper countermeasures. Therefore, he's determined to show that magical girls and their creations can be defeated by conventional weapons and modern warfare tactics.

As a Squadron Leader in the IAF and Major in the Mista'avrim counter-terrorist units - both ranks carried over in his enlistment into the International Peacekeeping Forces - Masada is an experienced ace pilot, interrogation specialist, front line commander, and a counter-terrorism operations expert. As commander, he can easily analyze the weaknesses of his opponent and is quick to adapt, even if it requires extreme improvision. On foot, his weapons of choice are similar to the Glock 18, UZI, Tavor, and SIG-Sauer P229. He also has experience in operating numerous types of aircraft including a Harrier Jump Jet, which is why one of the AMF Inner Circle leaders worked their way to provide him a Transforming Aircraft-Bipedal Walker with SVTOL capability. This machine, dubbed the "Mantis" by the magical girls, is armed with two bayoneted Vulcan guns, eight hardpoints for secondary weapons on two separate underbellies. It also contains two pods for either rockets or MANPADS, which are only deployed in its ground form, mounted on its shoulders.


I'll do an intermission and maybe a few more chapters after this. But now that this is done, I'll get to some other projects.

Either way, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
